A feature of the trapping of opossums at Stewart Island is the number of wild eats caught, showing that they are increasing rapidly. It is rather disquieting from a bird-life point of view as they must account for many birds; especially at nesting time. One fisherman stated that ho saw one attack and kill a weka, and occasionally dead wckas hare been found with the heads eaten. This must be done by cats, as the.-f eat. the heads only of the mutton-. birds also. Attention is drawn to an advertisement in this issue relative to a luncheon to be tendered by the New Zealand Club to Dr. Cyril Jenkins next Tuesday.
